By Geno McGahee In 1987, I was 13-years-old and a great movie was released to the cinemas. I would have to wait a year before it made it to the video stores and I was able to rent the film and find out what the fuss was about. It was […]

Haunter (2013) – Redbox Find – Horror Film
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had never heard of this flick before but the synopsis sounded a bit like Oculus so I thought it may be a low-budget Asylum-style rip-off. I liked Oculus so much that I was curious whether one that was similar but didn’t have a theatrical […]
The Sequel Files: X-Men:Days of Future Past
By Pat French X-Men: Days of Future Past is the most sequel movie that has ever sequeled. The Franchise has split into three sub-franchises: the original films, the Wolverine films, and First Class. Days of Future Past attempts to tie these disparate plot threads together into one cohesive X-Quilt. It […]
Abandoned Mine (2013) – Netflix Instant Watch Horror Movie
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When I first started watching Abandoned Mine, I was pleasantly surprised. The characters were different from one another, the dialogue was witty, the setting was decent and there was a quick urgent pace from the start. The story surrounds a jerk quarterback named Brad (Reilly […]
There Was a Little Girl (aka Madhouse 1981) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza While searching for a comedy I had loved as a child entitled Madhouse (1990), I came across the trailer for a horror film by the same name. It looked quite frightening and unfamiliar, so of course it was a must find. I was not disappointed. […]
Godzilla (2014) – Monster Movie Review – The King of Monsters Keeps His Crown
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’ve been excited about this film since I heard about it. I tried to maintain a realistic expectation because I really didn’t want to be disappointed. Still, I couldn’t recall a movie that stirred this much anticipation since Jurassic Park (1993). I remember when I […]
The Big Man: Crossing the Line (1990) – Liam Neeson ACTION FILM REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I will admit that I was never a big fan of Liam Neeson, but after seeing TAKEN, things changed. I guess it is sort of like meeting somebody and you hate their guts initially but, over time, you begin to like them, and it has taken quite […]
Afterlife (2014) First Season – Paranormal Horror/Thriller DVD REVIEW
By Geno McGahee BBC Home Entertainment has just released the DVD 2-disc set of the first season of AFTERLIFE. I was relatively unaware of this show, but I had the opportunity to watch the first season and it proved to be a great mixture of drama and horror. Psychology professor, […]
Shadows Run Black (1986) – Kevin Costner, Racism, and Murder…….Troma Film
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Shadows Run Black is a mostly forgotten about 1980s slasher, released by Troma, that is much better than IMDB would have the average horror buff think. I had the pleasure of watching it with my brother Geno and my husband Stephen, both of which insisted on saying, […]
Cat’s Eye (1985) – HORROR ANTHOLOGY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I think one of the forgotten horror anthologies is CAT’S EYE and I don’t know why. Perhaps the PG-13 rating or the inclusion of Drew Barrymore makes horror fans weary of calling it a true blue scary movie. They think it’s unmanly or unhorrorly (first time that […]
Oculus (2014) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Sunday night as everyone at the theater was rushing to the sequel of The Amazing Spiderman, my best friend Meghan Winkler and I went to see the less publicized Oculus. Including us, there were only 6 people at the viewing. From what I hear, the […]
Piggy – HORROR REVENGE Movie review
By Forris Day Jr. Fans of revenge films such as “Death Wish”, “Kill Bill” and “The Outlaw Josey Wales” will certainly enjoy “Piggy”. Although “Piggy” is a bit darker than the ones I mentioned, you still feel like cheering as the bad guys get hunted down one by one, but […]
